Because of the thunderstorms that recently passed through the area, Central Florida Electric Cooperative wants to remind citizens of the dangers from power lines and other electrical equipment after a storm.
Electrical hazards can be thought of as “hidden” because the danger is not readily evident. In other words, you cannot look at a downed power line and “see” that it is energized. Therefore, you must always assume that it is energized and very dangerous.

Work is scheduled to begin April 25 on a project to widen U.S. 41 in eastern Levy County to allow for new left turn lanes.

Lane closures are planned Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to dusk. The posted speed limit of 60 mph will remain during construction, but motorists should use caution when crews are working.
